The statement that best describes the excerpt is "This is the minor premise of the Declaration of Independence," as stated in option A and explained below.
<h3>What is a minor premise?</h3>
A premise is an affirmation or statement that functions as the basis for a conclusion. We can have a major premise and a minor premise. Take a look at the examples below:
- Some animals are mammals. --> Major premise.
- All cats are mammals. --> Minor premise.
- Some animals are cats. --> Conclusion.
As we can see above, the minor premise is related to the major premise. With that in mind, we can see that the excerpt from the Declaration of Independence is a minor premise. It is related to the major premise that the 13 colonies should break free from England.
With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer.

Answer:
The statement that is accurate is:
D. A topic sentence is the central idea of a paragraph, while a main idea is the central idea of an entire text.
Explanation:
Every paragraph in a text can have a topic sentence. This sentence presents or summarizes the central idea of that paragraph. It usually - not necessarily always - comes at the beginning of the paragraph and is followed by sentences that will help develop and support it.
On the other hand, the entire text will be developing one idea or claim through the paragraphs. That idea or claim is the main idea. It usually comes in the very first paragraph of the text and is repeated, in a shorter way, in the conclusion.
"Look, I don't want to argue but cats are better than dogs."
"My dogs love to argue with each other"
"Mom, why does Jason and Ally argue so much?"
